Can Korean players take over Pittsburgh?
April 12, 2023. It was a day that will go down in MLB history. This is because it was the first record for two Korean major league hitters to hit a home run together on the same team.
The Korean duo playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates had a serious accident. The main characters are younger brother Bae Ji-hwan and older brother Choi Ji-man.온라인바카라
Pittsburgh won 7-4 in a game against the Houston Astros held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on the 12th (Korean time). The protagonists of the victory on this day were Bae Ji-hwan and Choi Ji-man of ‘Korean Brothers’.
Bae Ji-hwan hit a dramatic ending three-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning when the two teams faced off 4-4. His older brother Choi Ji-man also exploded with multiple hits, including homers, for two days in a row.
It was only Choi who started it. Choi Ji-man, who hit the bottom after the opening. He seemed to be finding sense after hitting his season 1 home run the day before. And on this day, he hit a home run in two consecutive games to announce his revival.
Choi Ji-man, who started 3 times, hit opposing starter Javier in his first at-bat in the first inning and hit a double, showing off a good hitting feeling. And in the 6th inning, when both teams were facing 2-2, he even fired a solo shot to go ahead. This time, he met Javier and pulled the high ball properly in the full count situation.
Here, Bae Ji-hwan gave a perfect finish. Bae Ji-hwan, who came out as the top batter that day, struck out in the 1st inning, grounded in the 3rd inning, played out in the 5th inning, and struck out in the 8th inning. But he did a great job in the last chance. With the score tied at 4-4 at the end of the 9th inning, Houston pitcher Presley hit a dramatic final three run with one out on first and second base. He kicked up a low ball to the body and connected it to a home run that went over the right fence. His season 2 gun exploded when it was very important.
It is the first time that two Korean major leaguers hit a home run together on the same team. Bae Ji-hwan became a more important player in the team due to the major injury of the main shortstop Cruz, and he hit an impressive run-off home run at amazing timing. Choi Ji-man is also gradually increasing his sense of hitting, and the best scenario with the two leading the Pittsburgh batting line is showing signs of being completed.
It’s a painful memory, but Pittsburgh was a team in which former Kang Jung-ho showed great potential as a major leaguer. Kang Jeong-ho left the baseball field due to an irreparable mistake, but now Bae Ji-hwan and Choi Man-man will lead Pittsburgh as Korean baseball players. If the two perform better in the future, there will be more opportunities for other Korean players to advance to the major leagues as fielders. It is very important for the development of Korean baseball.
